Times Like These

for Remembrance Day

Looking over quiet fields
Where fallen soldiers lie
Flags by stones mark places
Tears fall in unspoken cry

Remembering loved ones
Frozen forever in time
Regaled by their stories
Now quiet, sublime

Youthful, exuberant, and then
The older, more wise
Lay side by side in shadows
No more sorrows or sighs
